An early years Madonna biopic is happening

Published on 25 April 2017

Madonna’s infamous early years as the coolest person in New York are set to be made into a biopic called Blond Ambition, the title of her 1990 world tour. Reports in The Hollywood Reporter this morning say that the film will follow Madge as she records her self-titled debut album in early 80s NYC and will chronicle her early brushes with fame, the sexism she encountered in the music industry and her evolving love life.

Universal have picked up the script from writer Elyse Hollander, who will be making her Hollywood debut. Few others rumors abound at this time, with casting, shooting schedule and release dates all under the radar for now. Expect lots of gossip and (hopefully) Madonna to offer her opinion on the project real soon. For now, though, listen to “Like a Virgin” below and click here to see 30 incredible images of Madonna.
